Firecallie 2 Posted January 5, 2006 I know that the best advice is to do something to occupy yourself, so when you get in "munchie mode" when your not hungry what do you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piercedqt78 658 Posted January 5, 2006 I have a glass of ice cold Water, it not only makes my band too tight to actually eat any junk food but sometimes it fools my body into beliving that I have snacked. ~Mandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marimaru 7 Posted January 5, 2006 When I get it and it's not that bad I just try and do something to take my mind off of it. If my mind wont stray like I want it too I make a pot of coffee and suck it down. (My doctor has no issues with coffee). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mousecrazy 2 Posted January 5, 2006 I try to distract myself. If that doesn't work, I drink Water. If that doesn't work, I figure I better have a little of it. Otherwise, I'll do some other crazy thing like eat way too much the next time I eat or something...I'm weird. Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherGurl 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Booty like NJChick said (and no, not kidding) but when I can do that, I drink Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted January 5, 2006 I drown it with coffee too if it really wont go away, otherwise I just go and do something else, shopping being a fave, lol. Interestingly I've had very little head hunger since banding becuase I'm just so "not hungry" all the time. I've had one or two very tiny pieces of chocolate when it's going round because I wanted to and the Christmas cake is still calling me from the pantry but I really havent suffered from it like I used to.

Jachut 487 Posted January 6, 2006 If I really get a craving for something though, I would have it have it - but I havent had that since banding. Whatever works for each of us but for me carrot sticks just cannot be substituted for chocolate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSasha 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Sometimes I eat whatever I'm craving, other times I fill up on Water, crystal light or a cup of warm tea/coffee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
